Viewing and canceling Downtime

To get an overview of the downtimes whether scheduled, active, or historical, go to the Monitoring > Scheduled Downtimes page.

Viewing Downtimes Copied

By default, the page displays the Live View which summarizes ongoing downtimes and downtimes to come:

Once the downtime period is over, or if you have cancelled a downtime, the record is moved to the Historical View.

Both ‘Live View’ and ‘Historical View’ have the following information available in the columns.

• Start Time: The date/timestamp of the beginning of the downtime period.
• Scheduled End Time: The date/timestamp of the scheduled end of the downtime period.
• Duration: The duration of the downtime - between the start time and the current time.
• Comment: When downtime is scheduled, users must enter a comment to describe it. This will be displayed here. This column can be filtered using the grid header menu to search for a specific string inside comments.
• Objects: The total number of Host + Service Checks affected by this downtime. Clicking on this value provides the list of Hosts and Services Checks affected.

• User: The user who scheduled this downtime. This column can be filtered using the grid header menu to search for a specific string inside usernames.

In addition, the ‘Historical View’ displays:

• End Time: The timestamp of the actual end time of the downtime period.
